Still, business is light, and the cause
of this partial stagnation is attrib-
utable in part to the unsettled

the interstatecommerce bill. and partly to the
fact that during March the shipments of freight
both east and west were abnormally large

Munic,pal Tangle at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, April 16-A sensation was cre-
that the present Board of Aldermen elected two
weeks ago is entirely without authority to legis-
late or perform any of the functions of such
body. The bill creating the board passed the
General Assembly late in the session. 1t is al
legged thatit provides for the election of alder
men but fails to give them any power save to
elect president and vice-presdent to preside
them. The Board of Counciimen is Repub-
lican, while the Board of Aldermen is Demo
cratic, and in joint session the Democrats have
a majority. This week the Republican city
auditor. city clerk, harbor master, etc, wit
messed Democrats elected to their places by a
joint session of the legislative body. 1t is now
claimed that the election illegal, and if such
is the case Republicans will continue in charge

Spurious Virginia Bonds.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

RICHMOND. VA. April 16.-There was con-
siderable talk to-day and no little excitement in
financial circles the discovery of the fact
that there are perhaps 1892. 600 OF spurious

were spurious Riddleberger bonds ahoat was
contained in Geographic dispatches received by

1882, payable 1882; S.. 900 to $4,000. New York

This morning $4,000 of these spurious bonds
were received by the First National Bank of
Richmond; $4,000 of them were consigned to
Messrs. John l.. Williams & Son, and 81 900 to
Messrs Warren &c Quands. to be paid for by
them upon delivery. provided the bonds were all
right AS soon as the bonds reached Richmond
they were discovered to be- forgeres. They

A GREAT BEAR KILLER.
He Dispatches au Entire Family
of Cave DSYclIcrN,

The boss bear killer OF the season
aloLg the western slope of the Cat
skills is David Ford, of Lexington.
On Tuesday morning he started out
near stratton Falls, Delaware County,
with his hounds and with his double
barreled gun, loaded with buckshot
i'll pursuit OF foxes. 4 light tracking
snow had fallen the night before, and
Ford and his dogs soon struck broad
trail OF bear tracks; apparently the
tracks OF two full-grown bears
and several cubs. The dogs
followed in full cry, and when
Ford lertook them he found them
baying away at the mouth of cavern
in Il ledge of rocks, which the
hounds were afraid to euter. When
their master approached the hounds
redoubled their clamor and an instant
later big she bear broke out of the
cave and made 4 dash for the dogs.
Before the bear could grapple either
of her tormentWs Ford gave her
charge OF buckshot near the
heart. The bear kept her feet,
aud, growing viciously, made q
rush for FoId. She received
,econt volley ut close quarters which
Il re open her throat, making a NOR
tai wound. Meanwhile the cubs had
followed the mother bear out of the
cave and We're growing and swapping
at the dogs. They made no effort to
fly fIom the spot, and Ford took his
leisure III reloading his gun and dis.
patching them one after another.
Nothing was seen at this time of the
old male bear. Ford trudged down
the mountain to a neighboring house
and procured assistance in transport
ing his noble game to Roxbury.
The next morning Ford, equipped
as before, took a circuit along the
mountain in the neighborhood of the
cavern. Again he struck fresh bear
tracks, this time OF n single animal,
and again the dogs followed the trail
in clamorous chase. Pretty soon
Ford overlook them, and found big
and ugly male bear standing with his
back to a fallen tree and snarlingly
awaiting the onset OF the dogs,
which took good care to keep out
OF reach OF his paws. Ford pluckily
attacked the bear, and, after a
fight that was pretty close repetition
of that with the mate the day before,
he succeeded in killing the bear. The
two old bears weighed about go
pounds each, while the cubs turned
the scale at about fifty pounds apiece.
The killing of an entire family of five
bears single-handled, and with no
weapon but shotgun, is an exploit
without a parallel, hunters say, in the
sporting adventures of the Catskill
region. Globe e-Democrat.
